Lions | Romeo Okwara still recovering Sat Jun 18, 09:47 PM
Detroit Lions LB Romeo Okwara (Achilles) was not a full participant in team drills during minicamp.
| Footballguys view: The Lions added Aidan Hutchinson at the #2 overall pick and Josh Paschal in the second round to bolster their defensive end group, and they also re-signed 2021 redemption story and former Dolphins first round pick Charles Harris. Okwara was their best edge rusher in 2020 with 10 sacks and 3 forced fumbles, and if he can return to form, the Lions will have their best edge group in years with an improved focus on stopping the run. |
